Stone balancing

[CarlS]

In my previous neighborhood there is a local street person that balances rocks. He's known to be a bit off center in his mind and has done things like yelling at nothing in particular while standing in the middle of the street. He does this in Fremont, Seattle.

For a while I was doing some crazy things myself and would go on walkabouts thru the city. I originally thought I had to move to Australia to do a walkabout but decided its for locals only so went on an urban walkabout.

One day I was walking towards this guy while his back was to me and he had about 7-8 stones stacked up. As soon as I stepped onto the sidewalk from crossing the street they fell over, he turned to me and said it was my fault!

I've talked to him before this a few times and he's said things out of context to any situation but at the time it was what I needed to hear. Well since that day he knows me and any time I try to cross the street to his 1/2 block of sidewalk he points me in another direction. It's funny cause I understand why. Some people are made to put order to energy and some are made to upset that order.

The things I've seen this guy balance and stack is amazing. He does all kinds of stuff but rocks are cheap and free.
